Maison Margiela is celebrating its 15th anniversary at ESTNATION Roppongi Hills Store in Tokyo. The luxury label designed a bespoke t-shirt to mark its Japan foothold. The crewneck sees four iconic stitches and special text print on the back which reads "LIMITED EDITION – ROPPONGI – 15 th Anniversary ESTNATION." Fans can choose from black or white.

The latest silhouette from adidas Originals — the Deerupt — hit the streets of Paris last night and, unsurprisingly, the city came out for it. The foundation of the Deerupt’s design comes from the signature grid that has appeared on several of the brand’s sneakers in the past, only expanded to encompass the entire shoe. To immerse Paris in this aesthetic and the "creative potential" of the grid, adidas brought the concept to life with an interactive event taking place in the Louvre Carrousel. Select Parisian creatives were tasked with interpreting the grid in their own style to create experiential installations where guests could play around and explore the concept.

Other on-hand facilities included a deconstructed dining experience, an in-house tattoo studio, a virtual reality tour and a presentation by Senior Vice President of Design Nic Galway. Musical performances by Brodinski and local legends Justice brought the event to a fittingly energetic close.

Last July, Nike opened up the second generation of the Nike Kicks Lounge in Omotesando, Japan. That particular Nike Kicks Lounge features a “uniquely curated mix of footwear and apparel” from all of the brands in the company’s wide-reaching network, and provides a retail experience unique to its confines. Taking part in this year’s Air Max Day 2018 celebration, the aforementioned Nike Kicks Lounge location is also opening its doors to another unique, vibrant product showcase.

Starting this Sunday, March 18, Omotesando’s Nike Kicks Lounge will host three separate dip-dye Air Max workshops — some of which will even teach you how to add marbling effects to your sneakers. The event series will take place during the week-long period of March 18 to March 25, allowing it to conclude just one day before the March 26th Air Max Day festivities.

In the photos above, you can catch a glimpse of what to expect when the Nike Kicks Lounge dip-dye Air Max workshop opens up.

Next weekend, Jordan Brand will release its much-anticipated Air Jordan 1 “Game Royal”. It’s essentially a color flip on the “Chicago” OG, yet also bears striking similarities of the fragment 1s. So no matter what you see in this non-OG colorway, it’s a diverse release that touches the Jordan spectrum in several arenas.

Landing on Nike SNKRS next Saturday, March 24, the shoe will be available at 10am EST for $160 USD. Take a look at official images of the “Game Royal” 1s below and start making plans to cop here next weekend.

Like much of the Nike Basketball roster after initial energy colorways hit retailers, Paul George’s Nike PG2 is now available on NIKEiD.

The customization platform has endless possibilities to personalize PG-13’s second signature silhouette. With simple color blocking and speckled midsoles, you can now choose a PG2 of your liking for $130. Customize your own NIKEiD PG2 here.

New colorways of the Nike Air Max 270 continue to be revealed and the latest iteration sports a bright “University Gold/Black” color scheme.

This version of the AM270 has a yellow stretch bootie upper complimented by a black heel counter. The pink Air Bag beneath the counter adds a nice pop of color which along with the white midsole completes the look.

Look for the Nike Air Max 270 “University Gold/Black” to be released on March 16 at select retailers like Sneaker Politics.

[UPDATE] March 12, 2018, 5:45 a.m. EST:A day after the collaboration was announced, Supreme has also dropped the lookbook and entire product lineup for the upcoming Supreme x Undercover x Public Enemy collection. Check out the lookbook above and then flip through the product shots below and let us know what you’re going to cop in the comments.

The collection is available at Supreme’s NY, Brooklyn, Paris, London, and LA locations, as well as online starting March 15. Japan sees a March 17 release. A portion of the proceeds from the collection will be donated to the ACLU.

Supreme officially announced an upcoming Supreme x Public Enemy x UNDERCOVER collaboration on Sunday, taking to Instagram to share a short teaser video.

The clip, which you can view below, features Chuck D of Public Enemy discussing the motivation behind the group’s third studio album Fear of a Black Planet.

Released back in 1990, Chuck D explains that the album is “laughing at the fallacy of race. Racism is an endorsed game so people can benefit at the expense of others based on their appearance and the fear is not accepting the truth about it.”

No confirmed information is available on when the collaboration will release. However, if notorious leak accounts and past release patterns are anything to go by, Supreme fans should look for the collection to drop this Thursday, March 15.

After premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the trailer for Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You has arrived, giving us a first look at the Oakland rapper, producer and film director’s debut feature-length film.

In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green, played by Lakeith Stanfield, discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a macabre universe. As lead vocalist of The Coup and Street Sweeper Social Club, it looks like Boots Riley is taking a similar approach to his filmmaking, applying a radical class analysis of the current system to his origins as a telemarketer in Oakland, California.

Also starring in the film are Tessa Thompson, Armie Hammer, Terry Crews, Patton Oswald, and more. Boots Riley also wrote and soundtracked Sorry to Bother You. The film is set to hit theatres July 6.

In other movie happenings, here’s why Kendrick Lamar should play a villain in the ‘Black Panther’ sequel.

Santi Zoraidez and Facu Labo shared a beautiful art direction post on Behance. It’s for the new and revolutionary Nike Epic React Flyknit. I am a Nike Running user and I remember seeing some promos about these new shoes and was always very impressed by the quality of the art direction and imagery. Now that I know who did it, it’s more than necessary to feature them.

So happy to have been approached by Nike to be part of the successful campaign releasing the new and revolutionary Epic React Flyknit! Long working hours and passion for work it was the formula to bring this project to life! Years ago when people asked: "What’s one of your career’s biggest dreams?" I used to say "I would love to work for Nike". So, here I am! Doing fun stuff for this great brand together with nice people, and it feels great!

The rumors of an all-black Air Jordan 11 in 2018 are indeed true, as later this year fans of the patent leather laden silhouette will have a chance at the “Prom Night” edition.

Eerily similar to the “Gamma Blue” holiday release from 2013 and the “Blackout” sample that surfaced last year, what sets this pair apart is its premium suede upper thats resides over the customary patent leather wrap. Blacked out Jumpman tooling hits the ankle collar while a outsole maneuvers a blue tint glow.

Unlike the aforementioned “Gamma Blue,” you won’t have to wait until Thanksgiving or Christmas to get your hands on this pair. The Air Jordan 11 “Prom Night” is reported to release on May 26. Those claims have yet to be confirmed by Jordan Brand.

Initial images of the Nike Air Max 98 “Cone” didn’t quite do the shoe justice. Expressed through wildly vocal colors that blanket the 20th anniversary silhouette, it’s mixed material coating is much more pronounced than initially thought.

Premium suede wraps the shoe in orange and purple hues while a glowing teal top layer drives home the tricolored aesthetic. This luxe Nike Air Max 98 “Cone” is set to release this Saturday, March 10, at select retailers like Concepts.

Fast fact: Antihero, a board company founded in 1995, is one of two brands Sandy Bodecker has wanted to collaborate with since the inception of Nike SB.

While one of those desired collaborations has been ongoing since 2002, Bodecker’s other want has taken a little longer for the other to come to fruition. That is Antihero, and the process of finally working together is made even sweeter as several members of its team, Brian Anderson, Grant Taylor and Daan van der Linden, are also Nike SB members. And thus the match has a clear and strong connection, and 2018 became the perfect time to collaborate.

Antihero is probably the brand that really represents the spirit of skateboarding in its purest form — the reason why Bodecker was initially attracted to the brand. It carries a “this is who we are spirit,” unconcerned with the ebbs and flows of the industry at-large and thus always staying true to its desires. For that, it has provided significant doses of inspiration to the Nike SB team over the years.

“We’re pretty lucky in SB because a lot of our athletes are also artists. One of the best elements of this collaboration, and what makes it truly unique, is that the athletes are the ones — Brian really — who said, ‘We should do this!’” says Jesse Leyva, Senior Creative Director for Nike SB.

Undercover founder Jun Takahashi’s Nike Gyakusou Collection is all about helping runners achieve a Zen-like focus by finding design solutions for common distractions. The latest apparel, available now on nike.com, tackles the warm-weather problems — flash rains, steamy temperatures and more — by mixing new fabric technologies and savvy functionality.

The best example is the radical Gyakusou Hooded Jacket, which converts from a sleeved covering to breathable vest on the fly. Here’s how it breaks down:

Isaiah Thomas is beginning to find his groove in Los Angeles, after being traded to the Lakers following a dismantling of the Cleveland Cavaliers pre All-Star roster. IT, in gathering himself after yet another trade, has been lacing up lots of heat from the Nike Kobe series.

Alongside others who’ve recently donned Kobe’s including Devin Booker, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Demar DeRozan, Thomas pulled out an Undefeated x Nike Kobe Protro “Yellow Camo” PE with red and maroon accents that has many hoping that more Protro’s hit release calendar soon. And while this pair doesn’t look to release anytime soon, more Kobe Protro’s are slated to release this year.

There has been no shortage of Air Jordan XXX2 colorways in the early moments of 2018. Releasing in a large assortment of colorways and height variations, later this month a pristine “Pure Platinum” edition is set to touch down in a shimmering silver presentation.

A straightforward look that offers a large dosage of Pure Platinum seen throughout the Flyknit constructed model, white midsole tooling and an icy outer close this minimal look that is expected later this month. Take an official look at the Air Jordan XXX2 “Pure Platinum” below and stay tuned to Nice Kicks for additional details.

Key Features:Each of the sneakers is done up in the original silhouette’s adidas Originals colorway and features high quality leather construction on the upper. A leather sole, leather lining, and, in the case of the NMD and Superstar, leather laces complete the offerings.

Editor’s Notes: The ongoing collaboration between Japan’s Hender Scheme and Germany’s adidas continues with the second drop of a trio of classic silhouettes that we had previously seen in Hender’s signature natural leather colorway. This time, each of the sneakers is dressed up to look like the retail adidas versions (black upper with blue and red plugs or the NMD_R1 for example).

Hender Scheme founder and designer Ryo Kashiwazaki explains “For this style you can see, we applied the original colorway of the original high-top shoe, and we paid more attention to the material and the tanning technique to apply this color. We challenged the Japanese tanneries with this sort of color application, and it was really interesting what came out. We also challenged adidas, using this type of leather that ages over time is something that adidas wouldn’t use themselves, and creating leather shoes in general is not something they do usually. So, I can imagine that for adidas it was quite challenging for them.”

While the price point is still quite high compared to in-line adidas sneakers, Ryo-san makes it clear that quality is his main priority. “Wuality comes first, I’m not considering mass production. We consider how to maintain the quality.”

Erman Aykurt, Senior Design Director Originals, added on by saying, “It might not seem like such a big progress from the previous season, but there’s a lot of work that goes on in the background, and so aligning the two approaches to product creation.”

Available via an official raffle, the sneakers will be shipped out on March 16.
